After Zhan Qingyue finished explaining what happened in the shop, the family drove the carriage toward the capital with great vigor.
Jing'an County is not far from the capital. It only takes five days by carriage. If you hurry up to 800 miles, you can get there in one day.
The Zhan family's team had just left Jing'an County.
A group of bandits rode on tall horses and swarmed down from the hillsides on all sides.
"Brothers! It seems that we are dealing with a big deal today. If you start taking action later, please don't be merciful."
The burly Chinese character at the head smiled ferociously, his face full of confidence and determination to win.
"What should we do? Why did we encounter bandits?"
Song Cuihua and Mrs. Zhang quickly hugged the three boys and shivered in the corner of the carriage.
The men of the Zhan family had already touched the hatchets, and the guards arranged by the government in front of the carriage also touched the sabers with serious faces.
"Do it!"
The bandit leader shouted, and a group of bandits rushed toward the carriage.
Without changing his expression, Zhan Qingyue took out a silver needle and threw it towards the bandit leader.
The bandit leader didn't even see clearly what it was. He only felt a pain in the center of his eyebrows and immediately fell off his horse.
As the saying goes, to capture a thief first, capture the king. The bandit leader fell to the ground, and the other bandits suddenly lost their backbone. They were eager to try and did not dare to take action easily.
Zhanjia and others seized this opportunity, brandished their hatchets, and rushed towards the bandits.
Han Yiyun and Cuizhu tacitly guarded Zhan Qingyue, protecting her tightly.
"Cui Zhu, be careful!"
Brother Zhan struck a bandit with a hatchet who was trying to attack Cuizhu. The bandit's blood spattered on the spot.
Seeing this, Cuizhu felt a warm feeling in her heart, and she had a slight change in her view of this honest man.
Not long after, a group of bandits were knocked to the ground.
The few remaining survivors were poisoned by Zhan Qingyue with lightning speed.
"What you have taken is poison. The antidote is in my hand. If you want to survive, you must obey me!"
The man who occupied the yin side of Qingyue smiled at the living people, making people feel cold sweat running down their backs.
Those men were not tough either, so they all begged for mercy.
"Take me back to your village and pretend you didn't see the dead bodies on the ground. Can you do that?"
The few survivors looked at each other and immediately stood up from the ground if they dared to disobey.
A smarter junior came forward cautiously, with a flattering smile on his face.
"Girl, are your whole family coming to the village with us?"
As soon as he said those words, he regretted them.
But Zhan Qingyue turned around and glanced at everyone with a straight face. He still couldn't figure out what was going on in the bandit's den. If he let everyone in rashly, he would be blind if the whole army was wiped out.
After thinking about this, Zhan Qingyue said fiercely: "Stop talking nonsense, do you still need to take care of who I bring?"
A group of six people carefully sneaked back to the village.
The clever young man looked at Han Yiyun and Zhan Qingyue, who was disguised as a man, with fear and fear: "You two girls, Master, this is our village. Unfortunately, the master of the village is at home today, so we must be careful."
"Stop talking nonsense. If you want to survive, just do what we do. Now go and do what you should do. If we are exposed, I will have you go see the King of Hell in a minute."
Zhan Qingyue shook the white porcelain bottle in her hand and threatened the three men fiercely. Her eyes were half-closed, making people feel chills on their backs.
"Hey, don't you dare? Let's leave now, please be careful."
Watching the three bandits walking away, Zhan Qingyue and the other two hid in the dark in tacit agreement.
After a while, I saw the village leader leading a group of people towards the nearby mountain.
"Those people belong to Prince Rui." Cuizhu said these words coldly, the confusion on his face not diminishing.
"Come on, let's follow them from a distance and see what tricks they want to play?"
Seeing the village leader and King Rui's men arriving at a cave in the mountains, they were transporting baskets of salt ore out.
Now that things have come to this, there is nothing the three of them don't understand, and they all look at each other in confusion.
"This is a private salt mine, we have to think of a way."
Han Yiyun frowned, his face as black as charcoal. He really didn't want the salt mine to fall into the hands of King Rui and the bandits.
Unlike Cuizhu, her eyes were bright and her face was full of joy.
"To be honest with you, young lady and young master, the salt mine that my master has been investigating for a long time actually came from here. Since then, the evidence that King Rui is planning to rebel has been confirmed."
Cuizhu looked serious and took out a letter fuse.
"Once this thing is released, it will take at least a quarter of an hour before the master's people arrive. Shall we release it?"
Zhan Qingyue nodded without hesitation.
"The three of us are ready for a big fight."
Once the letter was released, the hiding place of the three of them was undoubtedly exposed.
Zhan Qingyue exchanged a small crossbow from the space and fought with King Rui's men.
Han Yiyun and Cuizhu are equally brave.
After fighting hard for a quarter of an hour, the person Cuizhu was talking about finally arrived.
After a bloody storm, King Rui's men were captured.
Zhan Qingyue and others rushed into the mine. In the dim mine, they saw only skeleton-like, thin as bamboo poles, ragged workers, looking at the people who rushed in with numb eyes.
Zhan Qingyue looked at this scene like the human world, like purgatory.
"This damn King Rui, isn't this killing people?"
After scolding, she first hit the chain on the miner in front of her with a stone.
"Here comes the key!"
Someone shouted, and a bunch of jingling keys were brought out.
After a while, a bunch of poor miners were released.
They belatedly knelt down towards Zhan Qingyue.
"Female Bodhisattva! Thank you female Bodhisattva for the rescue."
"Benefactor, benefactor!"
Voices of thanks came one after another at the entrance of the cave.
Zhan Qingyue listened to the report of favorability in the space and helped several people in front of him up.
"Everyone has suffered. Go and have a rest. Cuizhu, go arrange some food for everyone and find some clothes."
Cuizhu quickly agreed.
A handsome man stepped forward and smiled at Zhan Qingyue, who was the bamboo of Cuizhu.
Han Yiyun was startled and pulled Zhan Qingyue to bow to him.
"Participate to become a king."
"No need to be polite. This time I want to thank Sister Qingyue for helping me destroy the illegal salt mine. Leave the aftermath to me."
If someone is willing to deal with the aftermath and take care of these poor miners, Zhan Qingyue will naturally not be polite to him.
But he saw King Cheng looking at the salt mine in a cave and sighing helplessly.
"This natural salt mine is poisonous, and it takes a lot of effort to eat it."
Not wanting to take advantage of Qingyue, she took the initiative to invite her.
"Leave the refining of refined salt to me! This good thing cannot be made cheap for others."
While talking, Zhan Qingyue immediately arranged for people to prepare tools.
Half a day later, a small bowl of white salt was placed in front of the city king.
This salt is finer and whiter than the salt they eat every day.
King Cheng looked at the salt and was so excited that his eyes filled with tears.
Zhan Qingyue smiled and handed over a piece of paper.
"Your Highness King Cheng, this is a method for refining refined salt. Please keep it."
King Cheng took the prescription with trembling hands, and the excitement on his face was beyond words. He looked at Zhan Qingyue with tearful eyes.
Zhan Qingyue couldn't be happier as she listened to the announcement of the extremely high favorability in the space and the upgrade of the thatched house.
